Hut 8 and Bitfury BV agree to terminate Investor Rights Agreement

PR Newswire

TORONTO, July 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ - Hut 8 Mining Corp. (Nasdaq: HUT) (TSX: HUT) ("Hut 8" or the "Company"), one of North America's largest, innovation-focused digital asset mining pioneers, supporting open and decentralized systems since 2018, is pleased to provide the following corporate update. 

Today, Hut 8 and Bitfury BV announce their mutual agreement to terminate the historical Investor Rights Agreement ("IRA") between the two companies. The years of collaboration have enabled a strong partnership for both companies and have led to the advancement of bitcoin mining in Canada. The termination of the IRA will most notably bring to a close Bitfury's right to a nominee on Hut 8's Board effective immediately.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to enable time for the Hut 8 Board to transition, Hut 8 has agreed to allow for the delayed resignation of Bitfury's former nominee Jeremy Sewell, until December 31, 2021.

Located in energy rich Alberta, Canada, Hut 8 has one of the highest installed capacity rates in the industry and holds more self-mined Bitcoin than any crypto miner or publicly traded company globally. Hut 8 is executing on its commitment to mining and holding Bitcoin and has a diversified business and revenue strategy to grow and protect shareholder value regardless of Bitcoin's market direction. The Company's multi-pronged business strategy includes profitable digital asset mining, white-label high-performance compute hosting, as well as yield & income programs leveraging its Bitcoin held in reserve. Having demonstrated rapid growth and a stellar balance sheet, Hut 8 was the first publicly traded miner on the TSX and the first Canadian miner to be listed on The Nasdaq Global Select Market. Hut 8's team of business building technologists are believers in decentralized systems, stewards of powerful industry-leading solutions, and drivers of innovation in digital asset mining and high-performance computing, with a focus on ESG alignment.
